What is your plan of bringing the majority of murderers & pedophiles
who walk free today to justice? As I explained, the majority of
murderers & pedophiles commit their acts legally. Who will bring
capitalists & heads of states -- who have directly or indirectly
caused murders, pedophilia, & prostitution, among other things -- to
justice?
What makes you innocent of murders, pedophilia, & prostitution? To
take just one example, have you tried to end indentured servitude
into which the Bretton Woods institutions put peasants & workers of
poor nations, who have been dying of starvation, malnutrition,
preventable or curable diseases, etc. in great numbers? Do you not
also bear responsibility for their deaths, since you have allowed
such murders to continue while minding your own business? Bourgeois
morality, of course, says that you have no responsibility for their
deaths, illnesses, subjection to sexual slavery, etc., but you hold
yourself to higher standards than that, don't you? Or are you saying
that only those whom capitalist states call guilty are guilty & thus
deserving of punishments?
